He formed Bruce Yacht R&D Inc (BYRD) and teamed with designer Bruce Farr and a group headed up by the president of the International Laser Class Association, Tim Coventry.[5] The Laser 28 was Farr's 91st boat design. The project development team included Performance Sailcraft's Ian Bruce, Tim Coventry President of the International Laser Class Association, experienced sailor Peter Hicks, Norman Frost as plastics engineer and Piers Phipps as project financial advisor. Hans Fogh designed the sails, as he had done for the Laser dinghy.[1][5] The boat project had four design goals. First, that the boat should be a strict one-design in the same vein as the Laser dinghy, with all boats produced the same with class rules that prohibited any changes to the boat, so that the competition would be between sailing skills and not the ability to pay for improvements. Second, that the design should have outstanding performance, unhampered by adherence to any rule structure, such as the International Offshore Rule, to ensure a long life as a competitive boat. Third, that the boat be a quality product, using the best of available technology. Fourth, that the boat represent a good value for the monetary outlay, "the intention being to produce a 28 foot yacht with a performance of a 35 foot yacht at the price of a 25 foot yacht."[5] Two prototypes were built and the first sailed in the early summer of 1981 in Falmouth, England, with the second in the water that autumn. Originally fitted with a large genoa foresail the second prototype used a 108% "lapper" jib, that proved superior in winds over 5 kn (9 km/h) and was easier to handle by short-handed crews, as well as cheaper to produce.[5] The prototypes were tested in severe conditions, including broaching and intentional knockdowns with the spinnaker flying, in 35 to 40 kn (65 to 74 km/h) winds that left the cockpit dry and with no equipment failures.[5] With $1,000,000 invested, to get the design from testing to production, a new firm was created by financial consultant Piers Phipps, Precis Ninety Nine Limited. The design was licensed to Performance Sailcraft to produce.[5] #laser28 #sailing #sailboattour

The crew highlights the protected nature of Boot Key Harbor, its amenities for sailors including marine stores and dinghy docks, and its community. They share their experience at a local grill party, enjoying time off and observing local wildlife. A major focus is on the cost-effective living, explaining how to live on a sailboat for as little as $20 a month, with options for additional marina services like showers and laundry facilities. The video also details a significant electrical system upgrade, installing an automatic smart battery isolator to protect their start battery and optimize charging. Additionally, they undertake various boat projects, including rebedding deck hardware and stripping paint from the boat's dorade vents for cosmetic and functional improvement. The video concludes with a discussion of a challenge with the new electrical device and plans for a future upgrade to a Victron ARGOFET:)

One simply thinks, I'll buy a hurricane damaged catamaran, fix it and then sail the world, but then life happens. The dream of being a cruising sailor, the dream of sailing the tropics someday has to be put on hold. At least I've had the chance to sail Mexico, California (see the last episode), and now Thailand.

There are 209 models across Short Marine's brands, and with only 16 to showcase, there’s a reason behind every one. Each show takes months of planning, from bump-in to bump-out, sales training, and everything in between. But what really drives our decisions is the boating experience we want each customer to have. It’s about building a snapshot of who they are, not just what they can buy. With the variety we represent, we’re never trying to fit someone into a boat. We’re finding the right boat for them. See behind the scenes of the 2025 SCIBS Boat Show. We’ll see you next at the Sydney Boat Show this month in November.

We battled 36kn winds, torrential rain and big seas on our way to Cairns – one of our toughest passages yet aboard ARGO! We left Kent Island and headed for Mourilyan Harbour to ride out some serious weather – and big it was, with gusts up to nearly 70km/hr even inside the harbour! Outside must’ve been wild, so we were grateful for the protection. With torrential rain and grey skies for days, we finally spotted a break in the weather and made a dash north towards Cairns. The sea had other plans though – the waves had us feeling more like we were in a washing machine than the ocean! After a rough ride, we dropped anchor in the calm, protected waters of Fitzroy Island, where we visited their Turtle Rehabilitation Centre before continuing on to Yorkeys Knob to collect friends for a few days together. It’s a huge milestone to have made it to Cairns, something we honestly weren’t sure we’d achieve this season! Thanks for watching.
